Live ‘Fog!

If you didn’t realise, there’s a Bienalle going on in Sydney at the moment, with art and installations and events of all sorts all around the city.
One of the most exciting is Superdeluxe@Artspace, who are putting on not only a great series of Saturday night gigs, but also a series of Pecha Kucha nights on Thursdays — a really interesting Japanese idea in which people get up and deliver brief talks on, well, anything.

FBi DJs have been asked to support before and after, and this Thursday, the 15th of July, I’ll be playing the late set from 9:45-11:45pm.
So if you want to get some interesting ideas up ya, and also hear some Utility Fog music straight from my hard drive, head down to Artspace at 43 – 51 Cowper Wharf Road, Woolloomooloo, this Thursday night.

Playlist 11.07.10

Lovely piano quietness to start with tonight, from two quite disparate acts. Jump to the bottom of the playlist if you want to LISTEN AGAIN!

Department of Eagles have released (er, are about to release) a compendium of recordings from between their two albums — mostly material they recorded towards an aborted second album. Dan Rossen put down a number of sketches in the studio, one of which turned into a small part of a Grizzly Bear song (see later this evening), and a couple of which have some lovely little tape manipulations plus piano.

And piano is what you expect from the greatness that is Chris Abrahams. A bit later on, I’m hoping to bring you a bit of his work which is more like solo Necks piano, but his new album for Room40 is a Numba One Stunna, as this piece for organ and glitchy piano bits shows.

Around 2006, a couple of new tracks appeared on Department of Eagles’s MySpace, and I loved them so much I ripped them off there. While “Balmy Night” finally made it on to their real second album, In Ear Park, its partner “Deadly Disclosure” has remained unreleased until now. The whole of the new Archives 2003-2006 really is great, but this one song is worth the price of admission 11 times over…

And then… guess what? Amanda Fucking Palmer has been recording Radiohead covers, and OMGZ they’re great! Well, the one that we’ve gotten to hear so far is! Her trademark ukulele, plus piano à la the original, and it’s a really great take on a great song! Can’t wait to hear more.

Speaking of great takes on great songs, Vancouver’s CFCF is one of a number of artists to taken on Owen Pallett on a new 12”, and adds a stompin’ beat and yet leaves the song to do its great thing.

Meanwhile… earlier this week, in a move that was either very canny or completely insane, Wiley decided to dump 11 enormous zipfiles full of music on the internet, as a way of clearing the decks so he could start afresh. It’s an amazing, scattered, mostly un-tagged mess of sound he’s bequeathed us. The ACOUSTIC tune sounds awfully like a little bit of Crash Test Dummies… on the other hand the other track is quite a manic piece of electronica. Nice!

Speaking of free downloads… the two Funckarma tracks from tonight are free, but only if you’ve bought something from their online store. Since re-vamping their website over the last 6 months (at a guess), they’ve been putting up deluxe versions of some of their older (and also more recent!) work in download formats, so it’s been well worth frequenting their store. These two tracks are a little “thank you” from them to the people who’ve supported them in this way, and both are great. Bass-heavy electronica, nice warm and big sounds and hard-hitting beats.

Sydney’s Silver Bone Tone continues to make music at an alarming rate. Tonight’s tune was some very nice dubbed-out electronica. Check out some of the music of this hard-working local musician at his Bandcamp.

Future Sound of London have been gradually flooding the world with copious amounts of music from their archives, and somehow in the midst of it all have started sneaking out new music under the FSOL moniker – real ambient techno stuff, rather than the (also excellent) psychedelic pop/rock stuff they’ve been doing as Amorphous Androgynous. Environments 2 and now Environments 3 (certainly the latter) appear to be new music, and it’s very fine too, including some live piano and strings. Looking forward to number 4, guys!
At some point in the near future I might do a bit of a look back at the 20-odd years of FSOL’s music. There’s many treasures to be found there (as the foot or so of FSOL CDs on my shelves can attest to…)

From there we found our way to a very very nice drum’n’bass tune from 2007, featuring Macc (from whom we heard last week), and 0=0 (from whom we used to hear quite a bit in the breakcore years). I really hope 0=0’s much-vaunted (for many years) album on Planet µ really does arrive sometime in the near future; meanwhile Macc & dgoHn’s album on Rephlex is out soon and you’ll definitely be hearing from it here.
Back in 2003, when UFog and FBi began the long journey to today, 0=0 released an insane little verison of the Super Mario Brothers theme, which I revisited tonight. Gamers take note!

I received a rather beautiful and mysterious package from Estonia in this week’s mail, complete with nice Estonian stamps. It came from the artist Evestus, whose industrial breakcore-influenced music has really impressed me. We heard the sort-of title track “Dramacore”, which features amen breaks, yelling and I think some of that cello quartet that’s all over the album. It’s crazy stuff as only Eastern Europeans can do.

Back to Australia, we join Edwin Montgomery who has some Travel Ideas, to be released soon. The most song-oriented of this evocative multi-instrumentalist’s releases yet, it’s a challenging and rewarding affair.
Zeal’s debut album (after a number of well-received EPs) is delightfully raw (yet accomplished) indietronica, and it won the heart of FBi’s Dan Zilber, who has made it this week’s Album of the Week. Always nice to hear something out of the ordinary getting some extra spins.

And thence, back to Chris Abrahams. His new album (and second) for Room40 is pleasingly experimental, and we had some nice chopped drum breaks and found sounds in my second selection; meanwhile I thought I’d also play a solo piano piece from his 2001 album Glow, and something bizarre and lovely from the first Room40 album, Thrown. However, I’ve just now been listening through just about the entirety of the The Necks’s back catalogue, over a marathon 2-day period, and I wanted to give a bit of context with this iconoclastic trio of his, so we heard from their second album (from 20 years ago!), which rather cheekily starts with a brief sample of their debut album Sex, before a sinuous bassline from Lloyd Swanton takes over, Tony Buck joins on drums, and Chris starts with a very bizarre, perfectly off-key piano thing.
Chris is also an inveterate collaborator, and I thought I’d play a favourite track from a couple of years ago, from Dean Roberts’ autistic daughters project. Lovely stark songwriting.

From the same compilation that brought us Paul de Jong’s track last week, we hear Dutch artist MiaMia, who combines field recordings from the Okkenbroek area with spoken word and ambient electronics. Beautiful stuff. I’ll play the last track from this comp next week!

And from Holland to Italy, with the remarkable sound artist Fabio Orsi, who has recently released a 3CD set on the boutique UK label Privileged To Fail Records. One can only hope it does really well for them — it’s very nicely presented, and compiles a large amount of really great music from Orsi, washes of shoegazey guitar and electronic chords, disembodied samples, some beats, plenty of glitches and crunches. It’s something I imagine most Utility Fog listeners would get a lot out of.
Last year, Sydney’s Preservation label released a collaboration by Orsi with another Italian, Valerio Cosi. Wonderful drones and post-punk vocal samples and buried beats.

And finally… two more tracks from the wonderful Department of Eagles. First off, a studio sketch from Dan Rossen, part of which turned into the intro for Grizzly Bear’s “Easier”. Second was one of a number of just great indiepop songs that would have remained unreleased were it not for this collection. So let’s give thanks to Bella Union and go and grab another 31 minutes of beautiful sounds from Dan & Fred…

Read about it, and LISTEN AGAIN via the link at the bottom. Good innit.

String arrangements, gotta love ’em. Started tonight with one of my favourite pop song string arrangements, from country singer Bobbie Gentry, who also happens to be a brilliant story-teller on this song.
Story-telling is also central to Nina Nastasia’s craft, and she tells her very personal stories through beautiful vocals and amazing songs, but on her new album she’s got a string quartet and a wind quartet doing absolutely wondrous songs. It’s transcendent stuff, and when the strings let fly on a track like “This Familiar Way”… oh yes.

Meanwhile, Martin Dosh is exploring Americana from a rather different perspective, and this piano-led piece is just beautiful. The whole album (perhaps cheekily titled Tommy) has really grown on me. Lots of motion, great sounds, and some very nice glitchy changes scattered throughout.

Following Nina Nastasia’s second song we have the highlight track from the excellent Mount Wittenberg Orca EP from the unlikely-on-paper (but instantly-perfect-when-you-hear-it) pairing of Dirty Projectors + Björk. To me it sounds like another branch of Americana, and so delightfully positive too.

The chirping vocals drew my mind to the sampled vox on the adorable Machine Translations song “Happy”, which can’t help but put you in a Happy mood. Well, if you’re me. You are, aren’t you?

And thence we arrive once more at Oneohtrix Point Never. Daniel Lopatin sings on a couple of tracks on this album, although his vocals are obscured by a harmonising pedal and other effects. It’s quite a beautiful effect over his analogue synths. I strong recommend checking this album out.

Another regular on this show, the boats drop another incrrrredibly limited EP on their boutique label through Boomkat. If you hurry they might still have some copies! Very minimal and in this case quite sensual electronica.

The other track from Oneohtrix also has submerged vocals, and like the opening track on the album is a much more chaotic, computer-edited affair. But we’re headed into analogue-synth territory again courtesy of an ultra-limited, ultra-amazing cassette release from the legendary (yeah, why not) Keith Fullerton Whitman. Here he brings his not inconsiderable skills to the process of auto-generated analogue synthesis. It’s mesmerising stuff.
Mesmerising, perhaps too, is his older work as Hrvatski: proto-breakcore that I was obsessed by in the 1997-200x period. Heck, I wouldn’t say no if he went back to making some of these crazy beats, but tonight what we heard was from the really early period. I still remember receiving the translucent green vinyl of the Attention: Cats “compilation”, which I held some suspicions about as regards to the multiple artists therein. But the one definitely real independent personality was his brother Brian Whitman, who released a few excellent delicacies as Blitter, and with whom Keith collaborated for an imaginary computer game soundtrack which I caned back in ’98/’99. So fine.

Nothing like a bit of a drum’n’bass rinse-out, and over the next few tracks we discover that there’s still some great beat-fuckery going on in the crevices of the drum’n’bass world, along with some really nice minimal stuff, the likes of which we’ve heard over the last few weeks.
Macc and dgoHn were both new to me until I was alerted to their recent release on the Rephlex label. They have a full-length album coming out soon, but they also have plenty of back-catalogue independently. Their stuff, separately and together, has the best qualities of your Squarepusher, Vibert or µ-Ziq tweaked breaks, but production-wise is as dancefloor as you might want. No surprise, then, that they’ve had releases on Paradox’s label among other things. Really great stuff, can’t wait to hear more. You can get their duo EP from the revamped Rephlex site right now.

In there we also heard one of the best beats from the incredible sabre album a wandering journal, a double CD set. The first disc is one long mix, and features a few tracks not separated out on disc 2; it also has “pt. 1” of the fantastic half-speed track “leveling out”, featuring full vocals from Maxwell Golden, and leading us nicely into our wonky hip-hop segment.

First up, Funckarma have their fourth Dubstoned EP out now (vinyl and digital) and it’s the best yet – crunchy and bassy with a good dubsteppy feel. This is one of their acid-meets-dubstep kind of things, very tasty.

Lorn’s debut album Nothing Else, for Flying Lotus’s Brainfeeder label, is one of the most musical and rhythmically satisfying albums coming out of a really exciting west-coast USA scene. Great listening music, great head-nodding music. Take’s Only Mountain also has great tune after great tune, and doesn’t stick to one tempo or one style either; there are some more traditional instrumental hip-hoppy things and all sorts of sounds. And Nosaj Thing, well I hope we know Nosaj by now. Absolutely blissful synth lines floating and marching along to a shuffling hip-hop beat.

It was slightly hilarious and slightly disturbing to discover Autechre swinging the beat in this rather abstract take from their new album (or EP? It’s a WAP catalogue number) Move of Ten. You couldn’t really claim it has any connection with wonky or dubstep, but it’s got a great movement to it, if you focus in the right way. This release is seriously still sinking in, but the CD version should be arriving soon, so it’ll get some more outings then.

Part Timer is putting together a raft of remixes for an upcoming album, and his mate Jazzy Jones Is Nano has handed in an absolute corker. The folky acoustic guitar and the breathy vox of Heidi Elva drift in and out, along with perfect sampled strings and idm beats. Again I say, somebody release this guy’s music!
And we have, for now, and exclusive track from Sydney’s own Gentleforce. It’s a lovely epic thing with tribal beats and his trademark evocative chords.

I had wanted to play more than one track from this compilation Herfsttonen, so you’ll be hearing more next week. Three musicians were asked to make a musical rendering of the Dutch town of Okkenbroek, for a festival occurring there. Paul de Jong, cellist in everyone’s favourite laptop folk duo The Books, created a gorgeous piece with sampled conversations and field recordings, and multiple cello lines (presumably live and pre-recorded). Amazingly, the other two tracks on this CD are equally magnificent.

Finally we have the final track from Dosh’s new album, which travels from postrock through electronic interventions and into heavy guitar riffage. It’s an album with hidden depths, for sure.

Playlist 27.06.10

So much musics tonight! And this is what happens when I leave it a day to write the show up – it’s an essay!
Read if you have the time, for potted reviews and raves about the transporting aural delights on offer.
As usual, LISTEN AGAIN – see that link at the bottom of the playlist? Yeah, that one!

So, the hero of the psychedelic synth-nostalgia set, Oneohtrix Point Never, has released his first album on the legendary home of glitch & experimental mayhem, Editions Mego. And in tribute to this, the first track on the new album Returnal is a pot-pourri of chopped-up noise, samples, even breakbeats. Quite exhilirating, and it’s rather lovely how it all subsides into track 2, which is more in line with his usual synth-based excursions.
I’m sad I didn’t get on to at least one more track from this album tonight; I’ll definitely play more next week. This album is highly, highly recommended!

Somehow nostalgia beckoned, and I couldn’t resist playing an old favourite by Boards of Canada. Nostalgia^2, perhaps, because by now a BoC track from 1998 brings with it its own nostalgia; but their sound has always harkened back to the 1970s (at least), mixed with 1980s hip-hop mixtapes, especially on a track like this, with a simple underlying beat, and a gorgeous phase-change in the middle.

More IDMsters in the hip-hop world with a Shadow Huntaz intstrumental. The production team behind Shadow Huntaz is the brothers Funckarma, whose revamped website has a large and ever-increasing digital archive of their work on sale. The instrumental verison of the last Shadow Huntaz has only just appeared, and while on the album itself it seemed a little tamer than the previous two (which it probably is), the productions, stripped of the vocals, on the whole stack up well as great Funckarma jams.
And Sydney producer Know-U has made a world-class entry into the wonky canon with his “Triptych”, released by another FBi chappie, the one and only Monk Fly.

And now we arrive at the first artist mini-special of the evening (something I’ve been doing more on UFog – I think it’s nice to get a perspective on an artist’s history when something new comes out). Ital Tek, or iTAL tEK as he was when his first tracks were coming out, is a Brighton-based producer who started off making breakcore-influenced IDM productions, but settled comfortably into the dubstep/wonky world. He had a couple of 12″s on other label, but has been part of the Planet µ stable for two albums now.
I’m not as sold on the new album as I was with the first, but there are undoubtedly some great tracks there. From his first album we had Radiohead-like piano chords and deep dubstep beats…

And from that Sydney/Adelaide duo Collarbones, their second-most-recent wonky-influenced glitch-pop song. (Go hyphens!)

…Which leads us into something pretty weird, and pretty cool. anbb is a pairing you’d never have predicted: an = alva noto, aka Carsten Nicolai, boss of the raster noton label; and bb = Blixa Bargeld, ex-Bad Seed, and veteran of the Berlin industrial/noise scene via Einstürzende Neubauten. It’s an inspired collaboration, although to my ears their cover of Harry Nilsson’s “One” doesn’t really work.

The fizzing static & beats take us onwards to Finland’s legendary Pan Sonic, who after many years seem to be calling it a day. Crunching beats and and a surging, crescendoing backdrop.
From one half of Pan Sonic, Mika Vainio as Ø, we have something a little dubbier perhaps, but still with the same aesthetic of pure tones, simplicity and noise (and industrial clanging in there too).

Bristol’s emptyset (another Ø of sorts) use a similar sonic aesthetic with a more dancefloor-oriented approach. I love the dynamics of this track – simple addition and subtraction producing something spectacular.

And now, finally, Keith Fullerton Whitman has some new releases out (and more on their way – follow the link to his site!) I’ve been a fan since the Hrvåtski days, and a short search of these playlists will see I’ve dug his efforts in the drone & out-rock arenas.
We heard from two very recent releases today. Both sides of a new 7″, recorded a couple of years ago at the Harvard University Studio for Electroacoustic Composition, and featuring not only oud and various synthesizers, but electric guitar, various pedals and an amp, all catalogued on the sleeve. One side emphasizes the synths and noises more, and the other the acoustic elements from the oud line.

The other release is a wickedly limited CDR collaboration with dronester Geoff Mullen, who is the sole employee of Keith’s monumental Mimaroglu Music Sales, first stop for all experimental sounds and of course anything likely to be available of Keith’s own music. But seriously, check out the incredible list of stuff available! This CDR is fairly droney, but there’s heaps of action all the way through. The last track is a beautiful extended analog synth work which will have to appear some other night – remind me :) I keep thinking of this as a cassette release; it has that lo-fi archaic feel to it.

Somehow Keith’s oud playing leads us into the next artist feature of the night: the post-classical beauty of Clogs. Led by Aussie ex-pat Padma Newsome on violin, viola and various other instruments, along with fellow National member Bryce Dessner on guitar (etc), the other core members are Thomas Kozumplik on percussion and Rachael Elliott on bassoon. Take note of that last instrument – it’s surely the most unlikely instrument to find in a rock/folk band, and Henry Cow as a prior example only proves the point.
On this album they are joined by a number of other musicians to make a folky, post-classical ensemble (as they have in the past), at home in the world of The Rachels, Penguin Cafe Orchestra and Balmorhea. The bassoon-led “Voisins” from their previous album is a real highlight, with the very unusual timbre adding something special to the driving rhythms. On the new album the most striking thing is the preponderance of vocals, the main collaborators are pretty awesome: The classical leanings are brought out by the incredible Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond, while the unmistakeable voice of Matt Berninger from The National fills his song with emotion and emotiveness. A surprising highlight, though, is the voice of Padma himself on “Red Seas”, edging into falsetto in this folky piece which seems to bear a little influence from another collaborator, Sufjan Stevens – and while initially performed only by the core members, it builds to a very Sufjan-like orchestration midway through.
If you’ve enjoyed the sort of music that Bryce and his brother Aaron put together for the Dark Was The Night compilation last year, you owe it to yourself to check out The Creatures in the Garden of Lady Walton.

Perhaps from the sublime to the ridiculous is where we go next. This sounds awfully rude to The Chap, but frankly ridiculous never sounded so awesome. Having been around for most of the last decade, this band has a quintessentially English oddness to them, which I can’t help finding charming. They can go from pure electronica to pure BBC Radiophonic-style electronics, and then switch to insufferably catchy jangly indie, all the while sporting amazing disco string arrangements and absurdist lyrics. It’s pop music approached from some really weird tangential direction, yet it makes perfect sense.
Two tracks from their latest album (which is still sinking in), and a quick tour through a couple of alternate-universe mega hits (if only).

It’s been a few years (2006!) since Cibelle put her last album out, so you may not remember her wonderful Brazilian folktronica. Collaborating with Mike Lindsay from Tunng among others, she brought glitches and hints at club beats and basslines to her singular approach to folk and pop. Her new album is a very strange concept album about a cabaret bar on another planet, and is absolutely in earnest while simultaneously embracing its silliness. It’s even more wide-ranging stylistically than before, and has some great collaborations, as seen tonight. We also heard one track from her previous album, and the excellent “Noite de Carnaval”, which I think only appeared as a single, produced by Mike Lindsay and sporting two very fine Herbert remixes.

The folkiness continues for one more track, a cut from Martin Dosh’s new album featuring vocals from his frequent collaborator Andrew Bird. I haven’t totally warmed to this album, but it’s very Dosh, and the Andrew Bird tracks are great. I think we’ll hear more next week.

Sydney’s Pivot are, as you may have heard, now PVT, and their new album on Warp has snuck out into at least one Sydney record store a little early. It’s even more stadium-rock than before (yeah, bizarre), with more vox from Richard Pike and big drums from Laurenz. Dave Miller (probably all) brings the analog synths and the kids are gonna love it. Next week I’ll play one of the bonus download tracks which I think only Aussies get to enjoy.

And finally, one of Gail Priest’s gorgeous tracks from her new mini-album thing on Bandcamp, via which you get to directly support the artist.
Gail has guest curated this coming Saturday’s Heavy Ecstasy gig as part of Superdeluxe @ Artspace, which will be awesome: Gail Priest is performing herself, along with two experimental/noise duos: Pimmon and Jeff Burch of Songs are Mandala Trap. And Machine Death is Ivan Lisyak and Ben Byrne.
